Christmas Market Shop at Caths

Becoming a Mum to our gorgeous
little girl, Mollie Louise, 7 weeks ago has changed a few things in the
Meakin household. I have spent a lot more time in Bridgford and with
less money coming in, this has meant maximising the use of the local
amenities - local baby & parent groups; walks through the park
(Mollie isn't quite up to swings & slides yet!); shopping locally on
a more regular basis and of course using the Skills Exchange.Last
night (whilst Mollie was having Daddy-daughter time) I was able to visit
the SE Christmas market at Cath's house. Greeted with a mince pie
and a glass of mulled wine - Cath was the perfect host - showing me
around all the stalls which offered jewellery; home baking and preserves; glass
products; cards; Christmas decorations; scarfs and a huge range of
beauty products. I managed to exchange my gems (but could have also
spent cash) on a variety of items which will make delightful (and
unique) Christmas presents for our family & friends. It was also
wonderful to catch up (& meet new) Skill Exchangers and hear all
about the pop up shop from Karina which will be run by Mike F and Suzanne R. on the Avenue
(previously the David Holmes shoe shop) shortly - of which I am sure me
(& Mollie) will be visiting.Thanks for a brilliant start to the festive season.Kate M
